1.11 Managing Internet Connections

To surf the Internet or send and receive e-mail messages, you must have configured an Internet connection with YaST. Depending on your environment, in YaST select whether to use NetworkManager. In GNOME, you can then establish Internet connections with NetworkManager or ifup.

For a list of criteria to help you to decide whether to use NetworkManager, see Section 10.0, Managing Network Connections with NetworkManager , and Section 9.1.2, Integration in Changing Operating Environments in the openSUSE 10.3 Start-Up Guide.
